Parked in the Town Pavilion Parking garage at 08:30 and backed the truck and cars overlooking the parade route. Had a great breakfast at Cosentino's, (LOL, the son and I opted for Sushi!), got a limited-edition Shatto milk container, and walked downtown a bit.

Got back to the vehicles at 10:30, setup the seats, TV, MiFi, and true to form the "Joe Buck Parking Garage" (Town Pavilion Parking Garage) told us we had to hit the streets. LOL, they suck balls. And like I told them, we'll be back, but those rent-a-mall-cops lurking weren't going to stop people manning the rails for long! So we went down to street level waiting for the fun to start.

The fun started at around 12:05, we watched the first few, then migrated back to the truck because, as I predicted, the parking garage security peeps couldn't stop the will of the people and all the rails were properly manned with awesome Royals fans all around.

We finished-out the parade from the top of the garage and had a blast. And had a great time waiting for the crowd to clear.

My God that was awesome! What a wonderful city!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was a stone throw west of the picture that GloryDayz posted. I told my daughter next year we will go to 2nd level of that parking lot. LOL Full grown guy even climbed light pole and was sitting on the crosswalk light.

My lil one was a trooper..she didn't complain once..chanted and cheered!..and passed out five minutes in the car on the way home...

Buddy of mine works for the Royals and got to walk in the parade (saw him!)...said it was unbelievable how many people..everywhere..roofs..railings... and how gracious they were...SEA OF BLUE!

What we've seen in this whole WS run is what makes KC a gem. Some may think it's a "fly-over" city, and that's fine! I'll take this kind of environment over almost anywhere else in America!

For the size city we are (top 40 I think), this is simply an awesome testament to how awesome we are!

I wouldn't bank on it. They were running people off up until the moment the parade started. If they hadn't, cars would have been getting proper ****ed up.

Glad to see people had a good time.

Sweet. I had the younger son on my shoulders until his leg went to sleep, that's when we all migrated up to the vehicles.

Wow, JUST WOW!!! Maybe 30 years has something to do with it, but this city is ****ing awesome...

And while the parking garage was initially monthly parkers (like my group), the people who parked after that, some came from out of town and partied with us (no alcohol!! [well, maybe a little]), were just awesome.

Because only people who live in KC have been Royals fans their entire life.

Amazing.

Parked at the zoo at 930. Took just under an hour and a half to get on a bus. Got to Liberty Memorial around noon. MASSIVE crowd all the way up the hill. Could barely see or hear anything. We worked our way to probably 300 yards away and could still barely see. Still well worth it. Rally got done a little after 3, we walked back to the bus pick up spot and they were estimating a 2 hour wait to get on the bus. So we walked up main to the plaza and got picked up and taken back to the zoo. When we got there, maybe a 1/4th of the cars were gone.

It was funny, we called it whack-a-mole. We'd see a section clear, then when the mall-cop moved on, like a school of fish clearing for a big fish, they all came back. Hey, once it started we claimed our spots by our vehicles, and all was well.

They have more than 3 arrests in Shreveport, LA over a bucket of chicken.
